when you first wake up = fasting blood glucose
normal FASTING blood glucose (haven't consumed anything for at least 8 hours) is 70-100mg/dL so if you're constantly in the 200s upon waking up, I would get yourself to your Dr ASAP.
if you do have T2, your Dr can give you a better understanding of where your numbers should be when you wake up, before and after you eat, etc. but it should never be above 180mg/dL, even after you eat.
as you know, gestational diabetes puts you at higher risk for T2 down the road.
the fact that your daughter is now 7 could also mean that your meter is not calibrated and if you're using the same test strips, they could be expired.
but regardless, I would see your Dr.
